While not technically an official "Project Coupe", this coupe has been treated as such, and I thought it deserved an article of it's own. Unlike our last couple project coupes, this one did not take much to get it fully sorted. The story started when a woman in Denver emailed me saying it was finally time to let her coupe go. She had purchased it new with her husband from Weatherford BMW in Berkeley, CA in January 2000. It had always been garaged and given regular maintenance at dealerships or well known independent shops. She had every piece of documentation including dealer brochures and online articles she had printed out prior to purchase. It also only had 45,000 miles.

Aloha fellow dorks. It’s been a while since our last article, and we’ve been busy since then. We had a blast saving a coupe from the far reaches of Alaska, so we thought we’d cross an ocean for our next one. Say hello to the next M Coupe Buyer’s Guide Project Coupe coming all the way from Hawaii. It’s a 1999 Arctic Silver over Estoril Blue example with 85k on the odometer. You’ll see the only noticeable modifications are 19” E46 Style 67 M3 wheels and a significantly lowered suspension. Aside from that, it’s a mostly stock example and will be our pride and joy for the next few months. Woohoo!
